Danusa Dallarmi Design

1. Initial Consultation: The process usually begins with an initial consultation between the client and me. During this meeting, I will gather information about the client's needs, preferences, budget, and timeline. I may also assess the space to be designed and discuss any existing architectural elements or constraints.

2. Project Planning: Once I have a clear understanding of the client's requirements, I will start developing a project plan. This includes defining the project scope, goals, and objectives. I will create mood boards, gather inspiration, and develop a design concept that aligns with the client's vision.

3. Space Analysis: The next step involves analyzing the space that is being designed. I will assess the size, layout, architectural features, and any limitations or possibilities. I will take into account factors such as lighting, acoustics, functionality, traffic flow, and ergonomics. This analysis helps me to make informed decisions about the design elements and layout.

4. Concept Development: Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation and space analysis, I will begin to develop a concept for the interior design. I consider color schemes, materials, textures, furniture styles, and overall aesthetics. After all the analysis, I'll create sketches, floor plans, and/or 3D renderings depending on the client's needs to communicate ideas effectively.

5. Design Presentation: Once the initial concept is ready, I will present it to the client for feedback and approval. This presentation typically includes visual representations such as mood boards, sample materials, color swatches, and renderings. The client can provide input, request changes, or give the go-ahead for the design to proceed.

6. Design Development: After receiving client feedback and approval, I refine the concept and develop it further. I will select specific furnishings, finishes, lighting fixtures, and accessories. Detailed drawings, specifications, and material samples may be created during this stage. I also consider technical aspects like electrical plans, plumbing requirements, and any necessary structural modifications.

7. Procurement: Once the design is finalized, I will proceed with procuring the necessary materials, furnishings, and accessories. This means coordinating with vendors, obtaining quotes, and making purchasing decisions while keeping the client's budget and timeline in mind. I will also oversee the fabrication of custom pieces or work with contractors for construction or installation work.

8. Implementation and Project Management: During the implementation phase, I manage the various aspects of the project. Coordinate with contractors, tradespeople, and suppliers to ensure the design is executed accurately. Oversee the installation of furniture, fixtures, and finishes, and handles any necessary adjustments or problem-solving that may arise.

9. Styling and Finishing Touches: Once the major elements are in place, it's time to focus on the finishing touches to bring the design to life. This includes styling the space with accessories, artwork, textiles, and other decorative elements. Also ensuring that the final result reflects the intended aesthetic and meets the client's expectations.

10. Final Walkthrough and Client Handover: Once the project is complete, I conduct a final walkthrough with the client to review the finished space, address any concerns, and make sure the client is satisfied with the outcome. I may also provide guidance on maintenance, and care instructions, and offer any additional services, such as seasonal updates or future design consultations if needed.
